Reducing fuel consumption in traffic jams, start/stop driving
Howdy,
I noticed that when driving in traffic jams or start-up/break-in short-distance driving the 6-speed gearbox does not automatically shift to higher gears and tends to use low gears. This leads to a very high fuel consumption (near 20 l per 100 km on 2 liter gasoline 18i).
Any suggestions? My guess is that switching to manual shifting would help here because you could forcibly lift the gear but who knows. Any suggestions?
